Lawyer working in North Sydney, commercial litigation largely involving strata defect matters and other strata disputes... for some reason the boss seems reluctant to let me drive my mighty boy to conferences with clients, barristers and opposing solicitors :?: :)

I don't understand why...? - with a IL Turbo in it, it would have to give them all a run for their money at the lights! :lol:

Handed the Traffic Control gear in on the 20th Dec 2010. Currently on Disability Support Pension but allowed to work up to 15 hours weekly.

I had been searching to answers to my difficulties in life until I found a fantastic Social Worker via Centrelink. I have since been to a Psychiatrist & learned I have Aspergers Syndrome. The plan now is to learn some new ways to deal with things & hopefully turn AS into a tool (or weapon :twisted: ) as opposed to a handle or excuse.

I think Mr Andersons Boss lacks sense of humour, adventure & fails to see opportunity for a psycological ambush. Imagine the opposing legals seeing you turn up in a MB & expecting a 'Mr. Bean' that turns out to be much more capable ( evil laugh)

I'm a qualified tattooist (even though there's really no qualifications involved, i just done the slaving away in a tattoo shop for 3 years for no pay, they call it an "apprenticeship"), I don't currently work as a tattooist though, not because i don't like tattooing, just because the industry is shit, the people involved are shit and everybody who buys a tattoo gun off ebay thinks they're a "tattooist", and it can get pretty frustrating... I do however work as a Barber now, i have been cutting hair for a bit over a year and i love it a lot more then i liked tattooing.. as soon as i get my hairdressing license ill be opening a small barber shop somewhere and ill spend the rest of my life cutting hair and talking about various sports and weather haha
Here's a few pics of the sort of cuts that i do..

I'm a Performing Arts Centre Manager. Not a job a lot of people think of, but I program all the shows that we put on at the Theatre (everything from stand up comedy to opera) as well as managing the box office, marketing and technical staff.
Best part about my job is free travel/tickets to select shows and having a 9-5 job that is also creative. Worst part is dealing with all the reporting/grant acquittals/political games which goes with being a manager in the arts - I hate paperwork and bullshit.
